I've seen one idea like this: "You don't want to throw anything away, what else do you talk about quality of life?" ”
Life is a process that needs to be thrown away while walking, otherwise it will feel particularly heavy. There are "wild thoughts" in the heart, there are things in the hands, there are burdens on the shoulders, and the home is full.
The reader "Kind Breeze" said that he had lived with his wife for decades, and he was a clean and sharp person, often throwing out useless bottles and cans, but his wife pulled him and did not let him throw them. Over the years, broken jars are everywhere, there is a lot of garbage on the balcony, and the home feels like a mess.
Many elderly people like to use "throw away nothing, it will be useful in the future" as a frugal method.
Hideko Yamashita wrote in the article: "Breaking away is a way to use the clutter at home to sort out the waste in your heart and make people happy. ”
It is true that breaking away is a science, and the key is to change the living environment and improve the mood, rather than blindly throwing things away. The following three lifestyles need to be learned.
02
First, make the most of things: enhance the value of old things.
I am a post-70s and lived in the countryside as a child. Every winter, my mother would sit by the fire, knit sweaters, and make cloth shoes.
When I was five or six years old, my mother bought two children's sweaters. Later, I grew taller and the sweater was too short to give up.
At the end of the year, mother said, "Come, try it, give you a new sweater." ”
I suddenly found that the children's sweater had been re-woven and merged into one, turning into a large children's sweater, and the two colors were matched together to look particularly beautiful.
Now that I'm in town, I don't have to worry about a sweater. But the mother insisted on knitting sweaters, so that the children felt the mother's love.
In the spring, I will find that there is an additional pot on the windowsill, and there are no flower seeds in it, but green onions. The flower pot is a palm-sized vegetable field, which brings pleasure to the mother and makes the waste pot come to life.
A lot of people, when cleaning up the room, throw the extra stuff out, and that's not right.
Waste paper skins, plastics, etc., can be bundled up and sold to waste shops to bring a certain income; beautiful wine bottles can be turned into vases; waste toys can be given to neighbors' children to improve neighborhood relations; some old clothes can be donated to people in need... After sorting, you will find that the waste has been removed, but the value is also reflected, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In the process of tidying up, you will also find fun. For example, sorting out toys with your children can evoke many good memories; a wine bottle can remind you of the joy of the party.
Don't frown and throw things away, complain about the ignorance of the buyer, treat tidying up as a happy job, so the value created is an unexpected surprise.

Second, buy on demand: refuse to let something like chicken ribs into the door.
Breaking away is to understand yourself by sorting out items, sorting out the chaos of the heart, and making people comfortable with the action technology.
Spent a lot of unjust money, bought a lot of chicken rib products, lost reluctantly, put at home, and occupied a lot of space. This kind of shopping experience, many people have, but always "unrepentant".
Smart people, when tidying up, understand their personality, desire to buy, the real state of life, the family's financial concepts, etc.
Study yourself thoroughly, and then go shopping in the future, you will not buy things indiscriminately. As the saying goes, eat a grain, grow a wisdom.
The day before yesterday, Grandma Zhang next door walked into the supermarket and saw the plaid skirt on the plastic model. The waiter rushed over and spent half an hour suggesting that Grandma Zhang act immediately and buy a skirt.
Grandma Zhang looked at her chubby figure, then at the slim plastic model, and said, "I am self-aware." "And then I left.
Obviously, buying things should be based on Tu Suoji, and you can't be partial to listening.
There is an ugly saying: "No adultery, no business." When merchants praise you, it is not that they love you, nor that they have vision, but that they regard you as a "business opportunity."
Keep a clear head, refuse to buy extra things, and after the family has done a cleanup, it will never become crowded and cluttered again.
Many families, repeatedly doing many cleanups, do not take long, they go back to the past. Therefore, controlling the desire to buy blocks the source of "breaking away".

Third, industrious and frugal: inherit a good family style.
There is a kind of parent who, when working, always carries children with them. Even if it is a small thing, it will ask the children to help.
Let's say the neighborhood janitor has a package that needs to be picked up. Parents take their children into the doorman's room, let their children feel the joy of "receiving", and at the same time, they will also tell their children how to open the packaging, how to deal with it, and how to identify the quality of the goods.
The process of labor is actually the most vivid educational lesson.
In the same way, when parents do the work of renunciation, children participate, they will understand that money is not easy to come by; shopping should be stingy, do not blindly follow the trend; and classify things in the family.
When I was in junior high school, my mother asked me to tidy up my socks. I found some socks with holes and prepared to throw them away. The mother said, "Wait a minute, some socks can be sewn and mended." ”
Taking the opportunity, my mother told me a story of "three years of new, three years of old, three years of sewing and patching up.".
What is thrown out is socks, and what is brought back is "style".

The Tao Te Ching says, "The beginning of all things, the road to simplicity." ”
Doing a good job in breaking away from the family is the self-discipline that all families should have. Simple is the most comfortable. Change, not only in appearance, but also in the depths of the heart.
When people reach a certain age, they should not please anyone, what they like, what they really apply, is the best. Don't spend your own money, buy other people's things, and make others happy; don't keep useless things, take up the space of the house, and make yourself unhappy.
The room is so big, when it is broken, it is constantly chaotic.
